I know you are all calm and balanced and just fine today, but just for fun, know that this is National Stress Awareness Day. What in the world would you be stressed about? Maybe a national election?

Or maybe a pandemic reaching record levels of infection heading into a winter flu season?

If for some crazy reason you have some sort of stress in your life you really should address it. Stress has many detrimental effects, on your body, mind, emotions and behavior.

The first step to getting help is being aware of your stress and the damage it can do. That is why this day is here. Don’t let it fester and hurt you more. Find professional help and improve your health. You are not alone.
